wisdom - weglobe lyrics

[intro]
“wisdom is the princ*p*l thing… therefore get wisdom…”
“and with all thy getting… get understanding…”

[verse 1]
knowledge is the book, wisdom is the lesson
knowledge is the fact, wisdom is the question
why, how, when, and what it really means
knowledge fills the head, wisdom fills the seams
between thought and action, that’s the missing piece
information overload but no inner peace
i got a phone full of data, mind full of noise
googling my problems like answers are toys
i know calories, still eat the poison
i know toxicity, still made the choice and
stayed in situations that was k!lling me slow
’cause knowing and doing got a gap, don’t you know?
read all the self*help, watched all the ted talks
nodding my head but i ain’t changing how i next walk
that’s the paradox of living in the information age
everybody’s smart but n0body’s wise, turn the page

[hook]
don’t be dumb, get wisdom
don’t be blind, get vision
don’t just live, be living
don’t be dumb, get wisdom
knowledge is the map
wisdom is the path
knowledge shows the math
wisdom does the math
[verse 2]
sit down, let me talk to you for a minute
wisdom ain’t a trophy, ain’t no prize you winning
it’s a practice, it’s a muscle, it’s a discipline
it’s choosing silence when you could’ve been belligerent
it’s leaving money on the table ’cause the source is dirty
it’s saying no to fame because the cost ain’t worthy
it’s understanding that your trauma ain’t an excuse
it’s an explanation, now what you gon’ do with the truth?
see, knowledge said revenge, wisdom said relax
knowledge said react, wisdom said pull back
knowledge said that’s mine, wisdom said share that
knowledge built a wall, wisdom tore it flat
solomon had gold but he asked for discernment
’cause he understood the wealth without the wisdom is a burden
you can be the smartest person in the room and still be foolish
ask the pharisees, they had the scripture, missed the movement
i seen phd’s with no common sense
i seen dropouts with prophetic vision, making cents
turn to dollars, dollars turn to legacy
wisdom is the application, that’s the recipe
not what you know, it’s what you do with what you know
not where you been, it’s what you bring to where you go
so when they ask me what’s the difference, here’s the audit
knowledge is the book, wisdom is the author, ayy
[hook]
don’t be dumb, get wisdom
don’t be blind, get vision
don’t just live, be living
don’t be dumb, get wisdom
knowledge is the seed
wisdom is the tree
knowledge is the want
wisdom is the need

[verse 3]
my grandmother never finished school, third grade education
but she read people like a doctor reads examinations
knew when i was lying before i opened up my mouth
knew the weather changing just by how the wind came out
that’s wisdom, you can’t google that
that’s decades of living, falling, coming back
from losses that would break a weaker spine
she bent but never broke, that’s a different design
and i realized intelligence is overrated
give me someone with the scars who navigated
real life, real pain, real consequences
someone who can feel a room without the sentences
’cause wisdom is quiet, it don’t need to prove
it’s the elder in the corner who don’t got nothing to lose
by telling you the truth even when it’s hard to hear
wisdom is the voice that speaks love into fear
[bridge]
you know what’s crazy?
we out here chasing information
like it’s gonna save us
but information without transformation
is just entertainment

facts
wisdom is when the lesson becomes the lifestyle
when the pain becomes the purpose
when the student becomes the teacher
and still stays a student
(beat returns, building)

[verse 4]
knowledge said be right—
wisdom said be kind
knowledge said speak up—
wisdom said right time
knowledge said more money—
wisdom said more peace
knowledge said hold grudges—
wisdom said release
knowledge said degrees—
wisdom said experience
knowledge said certainty—
wisdom said be curious
knowledge said i’m finished—
wisdom said i’m learning
knowledge built an empire—
wisdom kept it burning

[final hook]
don’t be dumb, get wisdom (get it, get it)
don’t be blind, get vision (see it, see it)
don’t just live, be living (live it, live it)
don’t be dumb, get wisdom
knowledge is the flame
wisdom is the light
knowledge wins the battle
wisdom wins the fight
don’t be dumb, get wisdom
don’t be dumb, get wisdom
don’t be dumb, get wisdom
don’t be dumb

[outro]
“wisdom is the princ*p*l thing…”
“therefore get wisdom…”
“and with all thy getting…”
“get understanding…”
the smart ones learn from their mistakes
the wise ones learn from everybody’s mistakes
don’t be dumb
